NATURSCHALLWANDLER® ETERNITA

ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Our cordial Thank You for purchasing a NATURSCHALLWANDLERl System of MUNDUS GmbH!

Our instructions below are intended to facilitate the correct installation of your NATURSCHALLWANDLERl

system and make it easier to connect it properly to your home entertainment equipment. Choosing the right place

and establishing the proper cable connections are vital prerequisites to allow the unique sound characteristics of this

system to unfold in your own private environment.

1.) Components of the ETERNITA NSW system

Your system includes the following components:

- 2 speaker columns

- 2 speaker cables 2x6 metres

- 4 audio crossover cable links

- 2 protective fabric covers

2.) Unpacking the system

Your NSW ETERNITA is shipped in robust, re-usable

transport boxes by a MUNDUS specialist supplier or by a

forwarding agent commissioned by MUNDUS GmbH.

Please open both transport boxes and place the box

covers aside.

ETERNITA is additionally protected with a fabric cover.

The bottom part of ETERNITA is provided with a carrying

strap (see Fig. 2).

Hold the speaker at the bottom carrying strap and

one of the robust stainless-steel braces on the upper part

(underneath the fabric cover). Then carefully lift it out of the

transport box and place it in the desired position in your

room.

Repeat the procedure with the second speaker.

3.) Setting up your listening place

We recommend setting up a listening place, so as to

experience the unique holographic qualities of the NSW.

Position the two speakers to the left and right of your

selected listening place. This place (couch, armchair,

deckchair) can be located in the centre of your room or in

front of a straight wall. Depending on the room size and

architecture, the distance between the speakers may vary

between 3 and 8 metres (see Fig. 1).

4.) Selecting and connecting the audio crossover

You may select between two frequency crossover points for

the mid and high-frequency range of ETERNITA, which differ

in their sound pattern and dynamics. For medium-sized and

large living rooms and other indoor rooms we recommend

selecting “highpass 2 – home area regular power”. This

crossover is controlled from the two bottom connectors on

the rear terminal (Fig 3).

For very large indoor rooms, such as conference rooms and

halls, or for using the device as a PA sound system or

outdoor events, we recommend selecting the “highpass 1

large area high power“ setting, which is controlled by the two

upper connectors on the rear terminal (Fig 4).

To connect your selected frequency crossover, please use

the four supplied cable links, two of each are provided with a

red mark (plus pole) and two each are provided with a black

mark (minus pole). Using these cables, bridge-connect your

selected mid/high-frequency speaker to the connector of the

system bass loudspeaker (Fig. 5).

Plug the connector of a red cable bridge into the red (middle)

receptacle on the rear terminal (bass). Depending on the

selected crossover, plug the other connector of the cable

bridge EITHER into the red (highpass 2) OR the upper red

(highpass 1) receptacle on the terminal (Fig. 3 or Fig. 4).

Now plug the connector of a black cable bridge into the black

(middle) receptacle on the rear terminal (bass). Depending

on the selected crossover, plug the other connector of the

cable bridge EITHER into the lower black (highpass 2) OR

into the upper black (highpass 1) receptacle of the terminal

(Fig. 3 or Fig. 4).

NOTE:

Always make sure to select the same frequency crossover

for both loudspeakers!

Do not use the cable bridges to connect highpass 1 and

highpass 2! (Fig. 6)

Now both channels of the loudspeaker bass are connected

(bridged) to one of the two frequency crossover points.

Please repeat the entire procedure with your second speaker

column.

You may change between the two crossover configurations

by removing the connector from “highpass 1” ON BOTH

speakers and inserting it into the receptacles of “highpass 2”,

and vice versa. The (bass) connectors in the middle remain

unchanged for both frequency crossover configurations

(Fig. 3 or Fig 4).

ATTENTION:

Make sure to switch off the amplifier before performing any

changes on the wiring!

5.) Cable connections from amplifier to ETERNITA

Your NSW is provided with 2 x 6 metres of loudspeaker cable as a

standard. On one side of each cable there are two banana plugs in

red (plus pole) and black (minus pole). The other end has bare

wires provided with a protective sleeve (Fig. 7).

The plus cable is marked with a red line along its length; the

minus cable is not colour-coded.

NOTE:

- Please leave your amplifier switched off when

connecting the loudspeaker cables.

- Pull the protective sleeves from the bare wire ends of the

loudspeaker cables and remove the plastic caps from the

banana plugs.

NOTE:

Make sure that the colour coding of the connecting terminals

matches the colours of the connecting cables (red to red, bare

to black).

- Now guide the loudspeaker cable with the red plug into the

middle opening on the right-hand side. Insert the cable with the

black plug into the middle opening on the left-hand side

(Fig. 8).

On the other end of the cable, plug the red and black

banana plugs into the appropriate speaker receptacles

(red and black) on your amplifier or connect the bare

ends directly to the speaker output of your amplifier

(Fig. 9).

- The left loudspeaker is now connected to the left stereo

channel of your amplifier. Repeat the procedure to establish

the cable connections for the right loudspeaker and connect

the cable to the right-hand stereo channel of your amplifier.

NOTE:

If you are using a Surround Technology amplifier, please use

only the two front speaker terminals for your

NATURSCHALLWANDLER. These terminals are needed to

transmit the required stereo signal. Further connections will

not be required for the NATURSCHALLWANDLER®.

The components of your NSW system are now

connected properly and completely, and you may

now start to play and enjoy holographic music from

your ETERNITA system.

6.) First Start-Up

- Connect your amplifier to the existing sound sources (e.g.

CD player, DVD player, TV) by means of one or several

commercially available cinch cables (also available as

accessories).

- Observe the correct colour coding of the right (red) and left

(black) channels

- Switch on your amplifier and sound sources.

- Select a low volume to start listening.

- Select the desired sound source on your amplifier and start

playing.

7.) Accessories / Expansions

To decouple ground resonances virtually completely from the

loudspeaker, you can mount so-called “spikes” underneath

the baseplate of your ETERNITA system. The base of each

column is provided with four (4) countersunk M6 screw

threads which can be used to fasten most commercial types

of spikes (not available from MUNDUS GmbH).

8.) Further Hints

- Always start playing your music at a low

volume, thus preventing your amplifier and

loudspeaker from being overloaded by an

excessive starting pulse.

- The NSW offers you a unique chance to

choose your individual listening position.

If you wish to experience a stage concert

feeling, choose your position right between the

two mid-/high-range modules.

- When used for overall room sound, the

holographic density will decrease with

increasing distance. The same applies to the

volume, but the sound will not be distorted

(just like going for a walk in the forest when

you can hear the birds’ voices more softly,

yet still clearly).

- Furniture may “swallow” sound frequencies.

We therefore recommend setting up the

system in an undamped environment.

- A special feature of the Nature Sound

Converter is its ability to play even the finest

and softest tones in their original quality.

There is virtually no frequency loss below a

certain volume. If you wish, you may listen to

your music at normal speech volume without

losing any detail. On the other hand, when

increasing the volume you will find that you

can still continue a conversation without having

to speak up.

- The NWS system cannot reproduce more

sound than is provided by the selected sound

source. Every CD may sound differently,

depending on the recording, mixing, rework

and pressing.

- It is recommended not to use any additional

sound regulation via the amplifier.
